OnePlus 6 gets stable build of Android 9.0 Pie with OxygenOS 9.0

That was fast

Chinese smartphone brand OnePlus launched the OnePlus 6 back in May this year. OnePlus 6 was launched with OxygenOS based on Android 8.1 Oreo. The smartphone was also a part of Google’s Android P Beta Program, and, OnePlus rolled out the first Android 9.0 Pie based OxygenOS Open Beta update for OnePlus 6 earlier this month. And, just under three weeks from releasing the first Open Beta, OnePlus has finally rolled out the stable build of Android 9.0 Pie for the OnePlus 6.

OnePlus has rolled out OxygenOS 9.0 which finally brings the stable build of Android 9.0 Pie to the OnePlus 6. As this update is based on Android Pie, it brings in Android Pie features to the OnePlus 6. It brings in a new UI along with adaptive battery support and Android Pie navigation gestures. In addition to that, OxygenOS 9.0 also bumps up the Android security patch on OnePlus 6 to September 1, 2018.

The OxygenOS 9.0 update weighs more than 1.5 GB in size and is rolling out over-the-air. However, this is a staged roll-out, which means only a small numbers of users will receive the update initially, with broader roll-out commencing in “a few days”.

That said, those who are on Open Beta build will have to manually install the stable build on their OnePlus 6 by doing a clean flash. The OTA will be available here.

At a time when some “tech giants” are still busy updating their phones with last year’s Android Oreo, OnePlus certainly deserves a pat on its back for rolling out the Android Pie update within two months from the release.
